CLOSED-CHEST CARDIAC MASSAGE

W. B. Kouwenhoven, Dr. Ing.; James R. Jude, M.D.; G. Guy Knickerbocker, M.S.E.

JAMA. 1960;173(10):1064-1067.


Abstract

Cardiac resuscitation after cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation has been limited by the need for open thoracotomy and direct cardiac massage. As a result of exhaustive animal experimentation a method of external transthoracic cardiac massage has been developed. Immediate resuscitative measures can now be initiated to give not only mouth-to-nose artificial respiration but also adequate cardiac massage without thoracotomy. The use of this technique on 20 patients has given an over-all permanent survival rate of 70%. Anyone, anywhere, can now initiate cardiac resuscitative procedures. All that is needed are two hands.
